It depends. There is something called "constructive possession" that most people don't understand the concept of. Constructive possession basically means that you have access to and intent to control the firearm. So as I said, it depends. You could be charged with possession.
Added: YES, you would be considered to be 'in possession' of it, if you had access to it.
NO, not unless she wishes to risk the arrest of her husband! A felon cannot be in "possession" of a firearm. 'Possession,' in the law, means ANYWHERE where he has access to it, or can exercise control over it. Having a firearm in the residence or in the car, or for that matter ANYWHERE he may be, is known as "concurrent possession," and is prohibited.
No, being in such a situation places the felon in what is known in the law as "Concurrent Possession" of a firearm.
In oder to be in possession it has to be on you or in your sorroundings.
If you're found to be in possession of a stolen firearm, expect to be taken into custody. If their investigation determines that you were knowingly in possession of a stolen firearm, then you'll be charged.

possession of a firearm
I hope not. ADDED: It IS LEGAL FOR YOU to be able to own a firearm, HOWEVER you had better keep it somewhere else. It is not lawful for a convicted felon to be in the same house with it. Court decisions have ruled that such a situation places the convicted felon in what is known as "concurrent possession" of the firearm and they can be charged with "Unlawful Possession of a Firearm."
Possession generally means connected to the person, or under their immediate control. If I have a firearm in a backpack, I am not touching it, but it is under my control.
